For dinner that day, Yan Yan did not ask the two children not to speak, and Lu Jin, who was released, would ask Lu You what he liked to eat, and then ask him what he could eat on the front line, and then ask him if he had ever been hungry.

Even three-year-old Lu Chu learned that his father liked to eat roast chicken, so he stood up and helped tear off a piece of chicken leg and send it to his father's bowl.

After the meal, Yan Yan and Lu You accompanied the two children to talk and laugh for a while, estimating that the two children were almost eating, so they handed Lu Jin to Bauhinia and Perilla, Lu Chu still handed over to Qingxiang and Qingxiu, and Yan Yan personally went to serve Lu You to take a bath, so that the husband and wife had the opportunity to have a good conversation.

Regarding the war, Lu You only said a few words lightly, but he did say a lot about the mountainous terrain of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and the living conditions of the local people.

In his opinion, the Han people in these places lived a more difficult life, because most of the Khitan people still lived a nomadic life, and the basic farming was Han people, and most of them were concentrated in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Han people had no status in the Khitan, so the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes were quite heavy.

This is also why Lu You can easily buy the local Han people with some yams and cotton seeds, because Lu You promised them that as long as they take this city, they can return to the Great Zhou and enjoy the same rights and interests as the people of the Great Zhou.

In short, the national strength consumption of the Khitan and Western Xia in this war is not small, coupled with the deterrence of artillery in the Great Zhou, so Lu You estimates that there will be no more wars in the short term, unless they can invent weapons more powerful than artillery.

Yan Yan shook her head when she heard this, she was not optimistic about the Jurchen and Mongolia, the Jurchen and the Khitan teamed up this time and did not use all their strength, and now the Khitan has been hit hard, and the Jurchen will turn against the Khitan, because the Jurchen's original plan was to unite the Great Zhou to fight the Khitan, and later because of the capture of the Khitan prince, the Khitan and the Great Zhou were forced to tear their faces first and turn to the Jurchen, but the Jurchen did not really take the Khitan as an ally.

Not to mention Mongolia, its wings are not yet full, so its ambitions have not been fully exposed, and I am afraid that in a few years, it will be time to sweep through these steppe tribes.

However, the situation in this life is not the same as Yan Yan's previous life after all, first of all, the combat power of the Great Zhou in this life is stronger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty in the previous life; Secondly, the Great Zhou did not join forces with the Jurchens to attack the Liao State like the Northern Song Dynasty, so the Liao State may not easily lose to the Jurchens; Third, Mongolia in this life does not have a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan, so whether it can achieve such hegemony remains to be verified; Fourth, Da Zhou has artillery technology in hand, and the sixteen states of Yanyun have also been recovered, and they will definitely not repeat the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty in another time and space.

As for Western Xia, Yan Yan seems to have a little impression, it seems that the previous Mongol destruction of Western Xia was in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Liao State had already finished playing at that time, so Yan Yan concluded that even if Mongolia wanted to launch a large-scale war against Western Xia, it would not be now, after all, Western Xia was still an ally of Liao.

Of course, Western Xia now wants to hug Da Zhou's thick legs, after all, only Da Zhou's artillery has just won the alliance of Jin, Liao, and Xia, and this power is self-evident, so he brazenly stepped out of the step of harmony.

Women in this era are really sad, don't look at them as princesses, county lords or something, but sometimes it's really better to be a commoner, at least you don't have to bear the responsibilities that should belong to men.

Seeing Yan Yan's brows slightly locked, Lu You hurriedly stretched out his hand to soothe it, "Baby, don't worry, I'm back, there is no war, I won't leave you again, then I want to study hard, and strive to be one of you next fall." ”

"You blow it, will it be too late next fall? It's less than a year away. Yan Yan said that he really had some expectations for this matter, mainly because if he didn't work next year, he would have to wait for another three years, Lu You would be thirty years old at that time, and besides, there was still a level behind the lift.

"If you have a lady's reminder, it will definitely work." Lu You said sincerely.

After several years of war experience, Lu You feels more and more that he has married a treasure, a real treasure, because Yan Yan knows too many things, it is no exaggeration to say that if there is no Yan Yan, the direction of this war is uncertain, and he will naturally not get so many honors.

Therefore, Lu You, who was deeply benefited by it, was very confident in next year's scientific examination, but unfortunately, Yan Yan poured a scoop of cold water on him, "I really can't mention this, my little knowledge is the primary stage, and the examiners and jinshi are definitely not enough to see, and I can't even guide Yan Zhang now." ”

Speaking of Yan Zhang, the topic naturally turned to the scandal of the Yan and Lu families, and the previous Yan Yan wrote letters to tell Lu You one after another, so Yan Yan focused on what happened at Lu Yuan's full moon banquet.

"Whoever I love, as long as I don't come to harm us, I don't bother to care about those bad things." Lu You was not very interested in this topic, he just needed to know that Yan Yan was not wronged and was not involved.

But Yan Yan was interested in this mastermind behind the scenes, "Husband, tell me who your grandmother is, and what was her relationship with the Zhu family before?" ”

Lu You was taken aback when she saw Yan Yan ask Old Lady Lu, "Could it be that you doubt her?" ”

Seeing Yan Yan nodding, Lu You thought for a moment, and then talked about his understanding of Old Lady Lu.

Speaking of which, this cognition is really pitiful, because before getting married, Lu You would never see his grandmother more than one slap a year, and every time they met, the old lady's eyes would not stay on him longer, even if he saw it occasionally, he was disgusted.

Therefore, in Lu You's heart, this grandmother is by no means a good person, and she is not so merciful as she advertises to be poor, cherishing the lowly, respecting the elderly, and loving the young, which is definitely fake compassion.

"As for her relationship with that woman, I am even more unclear, I can only say that it looks quite kind on the surface."

After speaking, Lu You suddenly remembered a long past, when he was just seven or eight years old, once he was reading a book in the study, and heard the movement of talking outside, he hurriedly hid under the desk, not for eavesdropping, but for fear of meeting people, afraid of embarrassing his father, and afraid of embarrassing the Lu family, there had been such a precedent before, and he was also disciplined for this.

Coincidentally, it was the two maids next to the old lady who came in that time, and came to the study to find a medical book, what the specific medical book was used for Lu You didn't know, but he heard the two maids complain, saying that the old grandfather was too partial to the Zhu family, obviously the Zhu family was wrong, but the old grandfather still looked at his daughter-in-law, but he refused to believe his wife.

It's a pity that Lu You was still young at that time and didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he remembered it.
